This is long, but is incredible. For those wanting a quick laugh, please scroll to the bottom first.
So, I work in recruiting and brought this applicant in for a warehouse job and have our email communications listed below. He was ok in the interview ($10 hour warehouse job) so i sent him to meet with a client. He ran late to the interview, still got an offer, and turned it down. at that point, i was ready to move on..
His first email.. about 2 hours after the interview.. (this is after i offered, and he turned down the job)
I just got another phone call for that other company in malvern for another interview. The one I was telling you I'm waiting to get the details on. Tomorrow at 10AM in Malvern. So I don't want to waste y'all's time with this assignment. You can go ahead and tell Bub or bob whatever his face is thanks but no thanks he can find someone else. And that these people didn't say my resume was scattered and they going to pay $14/hr for less work lol. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please let me know about anything $12+ Preferably more is always the goal. Thanks for your time much appreciated. I'm trying to progress though financially so nothing against y'all but of course I'm going to go with the highest paying opportunity I can get. I'd be foolish not to.

My response:
Hi XXX,
Thanks for the update. I will let Bob know that you are not interested.
Also, for future reference, I really think that you should work on the professionalism of your emails. Referring to someone as "whatever his face" or "dude" is not the most professional way to go about things. Frankly, if you were to send this email to a prospective employer, they would immediately take you out of the running for the position because of this lack of professionalism.
In addition, I hope that you do not take offense to this email, and that you could learn from it.
Good luck with the interview, and good luck with your job search.
Thank you,
Me
His 2nd response.. 1 hour later:
I completely understand 100% you are correct. I'll take that as constructive feedback. Thank you; No offense taken. I couldn't remember his name. He was kind of condescending and you seemed cool I didn't think it would matter to "you" but that's no excuse. Of course I wouldn't say that to an employer. I'm smarter then that. I was just trying to relay the message quickly I'm busy driving. I wasn't trying to be rude or offend you yourself but I guess I did and I apologize big guy. K hope you have a good day don't feel bad I didn't mean anything by it.
Thanks again
Sincerely,
XXX
Later that day...
I just parked up my car. I was on the highway with busy traffic. I wasn't worried about a frivolous email to the middleman telling you "no" to an assignment. I mean, if I had said yes, it would be a different situation and I wouldn't of said it like that but you were in a rush for me to start today. A half day at that? I mean, you could of told me yesterday so I was prepared today. If you want to talk about professionalism. Who starts a half day anyway? Y'all eat off the temps checks. It's your job to make us look good and gas us up to employers so you can get a cut and it's our job to be reliable, show up everyday and get the job done. Also, just so you know that's not an issue. I've never had a problem with that in my life. However, I definitely see from that last one why you would be concerned but nevertheless thanks for your opinion and I'll do my best to work on it progress and better myself in the future. Feel free to contact me. Otherwise, I shall be in touch. Hope you have a marvelous day.

Your the only one that's ever called me unprofessional but you don't really know me so it's a false perception.

1st off I just want to apologize for the phone and email situations. I got upset about the phone thing because you were calling my parents house and my dad's cell phone and I hardly ever stay there so when u did that they were freaking out on me, blowing up my dead phone while I was trying to charge it to call you all while I was driving too you. So when my phone turned back on I had all these notifications... I don't need or want that and neither do they that's not their responsibility. Then on top of that you refused to verify that you erased all those numbers from your system that you had for me on file except the "XXXXXXXXX" one and became very defensive. They told me why did you put our numbers in their database?? And personally asked me to ask you to delete them. which I don't believe you did. I didn't want to put them in the first place but when doing the application in your office it wouldn't allow me to go to the next screen without filling in those boxes. Plus you didn't even give me any leeway 5-10 mins before u called every number and you justified to me when I called you back. I understand where your coming from business wise but I'm a man of my word and I said I'd be there exactly as I was. I feel you made something out of nothing just to put your 2 cents in with that professionalism statement. Plus Bub still kept me waiting 15 mins and managed to rub me the wrong way with looks and slick comments. I didn't like his attitude and the way he came off to me period that's that. With his Marlboro Red Smoking Hillbilly self, that's how I feel. I don't want to work for a loser like that. He wasn't professional he didn't even ask me anything positive everything was negative like he was interrogating me or something. So why should I be worried about calling him what's his face I thought we are suppose to be on the same side lol.. he can kick rocks barefoot. I didn't say what I said with out reason. As far as the email situation goes if that's how you feel about my etiquette that's cool but I don't have a problem with that. I treat people how they treat me and your not my boss anyway nor have I got one assignment or check from y'all so that doesn't make a difference and seems like it was just criticism because you emotionally felt some sort of way about what I said to keep it trill with you. However I'm willing to start over clean slate with you but again that is entirely up to you. Although You didn't reply to my other emails so I am assuming you want nothing to do with me. However, If that's not the case... I Just wanted to touch base with you after that interview I had. I honestly don't know what to expect because they seemed hung up on my education and the fact that I studied multi media, visual communications, and graphic design. So they feel like if I find something in my field since I'm only 26 that I will leave and they would have trained me for nothing. So I feel skeptical that they are even going to hire me. However, they said they would let me know within a week or so. Yet I have bills and my own life situations to deal with and can't wait around for people to make up there mind I'm looking for more opportunities. Preferably office ones. Like I said if the money is right ill do wear house preferably shipping I can do receiving but I rather ship and not deal with as much frivolousness for the chump change. I'm not trying to make a career out of this kind of work. Labor is for the birds and I'm smarter then that. I'm just getting frustrated because everything I've seen with these agencies is low balling and wants too much for too little or something along those lines and it doesn't look like any growth life changing experience or opportunity is available not to mention the jumping thru hoops is getting old with the unfulfilled promises.. The place I interviewed at It's in Frazer and is a wear house but just like you told me same applies to you and I am not at liberty to disclose the information of the name of the company etc. to you.
Again sorry if this seemed rude but I also feel you misinterpreted a lot of the emotion through text. None of this is even a big deal.
Hope you have a excellent day

I guess they were looking for a labor guy with no back ground and no ambition, so he could stay there in the warehouse for a long time and not worry about retraining anybody else idk? But wanted you to know. So what's new? Any other opportunities besides the one with Bub you had me interview? It's hard to believe that you only had one available opening for such a successful staffing company in the past few weeks. Let me know. Thanks.

Hello, it's been a while and I have yet to hear a reply from you and I already apologized so idk what else you expect me to say. Any opportunities available? Maybe we could start fresh? I also went to submit my resume at a few places and noticed you took Randstad out completely. I never gave you permission to do that either. Hope to hear good news from you. Take care.
